Back in the 1970s, personal computers didn’t exist yet. Neither did the internet.

In January of 1975 I visited the legendary Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. That  was my first exposure to pixels.

In 1976 I joined NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California as its Artist in Residence.

After a while, I started building immersive worlds there.

Next I constructed generative 3D structures that evolved over time.

The first  artwork I produced on a desktop computer was in 1990 at Apple’s Advanced Technology Group in Cupertino.

In the mid-1990s, I built a network of workstations in my Sierra Madre, California  studio.

Eventually, the world got wired up to the web, hardware and software prices fell off a cliff, and millions of artists joined the digital revolution.

Today pixels mediate virtually every  aspect of our existence.

The rest is history.
